I stopped at FasTrack after work today to get a new stem, and while I was there, we weighed the bike. As pictured yesterday, it came in at 14 pounds, 1 oz. Dave said it was the lightest bike he’s weighed this week, edging out Blingerman’s by over half a pound, and his own new Madone by nearly a pound.
We swapped out the ugly aluminium S-Works stem for a beautiful Ritchey WCS Carbon 4AXIS, saving about 30 grams. Also cut the steerer down some more, and dropped off a spacer. In a few minutes, I’m putting the swapping the Ti Speedplays from the TCR, easily bringing the whole thing under 14 in race trim.
I did cheat maybe a little… I removed the Garmin, but the mount was still there…
